Series 1950 Explosion-Proof Differential Pressure Switches combine the best features of the Series 1900 Pressure Switch with an integral explosion-proof and weather-proof housing. Each unit is UL &
CSA listed; FM approved for use in Class I, Groups C & D; Class II,
Groups E, F, & G; and Class III atmospheres (NEMA 7 & 9). They are
totally rain-tight for outdoor installations. Twelve models allow setpoints from .03 to 20 inches w.c. and from .5 to 50 psi (3.4 to 345 kPa).
Easy access to the SPDT switch for electrical hook-up is provided by
removing the top plate of the three-part aluminum housing. Adjustment
to the set point of the switch can be made without disassembling the
housing. The unit is very compact, about half the weight and bulk of
equivalent conventional explosion-proof switches.
CAUTION
For use only with air or compatible gases. Use of the Model 1950
switch with explosive media connected to the Low pressure port
(including differential pressure applications in such media) is not recommended. Switch contact arcing can cause an explosion inside the
switch housing which, while contained, may render the switch inoperative. If switch is being used to sense a single positive pressure relative to atmosphere, run a line from the low pressure port to a non-hazardous area free of combustible gases. This may increase response
time on -0 and -00 models.
Note: The last number-letter combination in the model number identifies the switchs electrical rating (number) and diaphragm material (letter). The 2F combination is standard as described in the physical data
above. In case of special models, a number 1 rating is the same as 2;
a number 3 or 4 rating is 10A 125, 250, 480 VAC; 1/8 H.P. 125 VAC; 1/4
H.P. 250 VAC; a number 5 or 6 rating is 1A 125 VAC. Letter B indicates
a Buna-N diaphragm; N = Neoprene; S = Silicone; and V = Viton.

INSTALLATION
1. Select a location free from excess vibration and corrosive atmospheres where temperatures will be within the limits noted under
Specifications on reverse. Switch may be installed outdoors or in areas
where the hazard of explosion exists. See reverse for specific types of
hazardous service.
2. Mount standard switches with the diaphragm in a vertical plane and
with switch lettering and nameplate in an upright position. Some switches are position sensitive and may not reset properly unless they are
mounted with the diaphragm vertical.
3. Connect switch to source of pressure, vacuum or differential pressure.
Metal tubing with 1/4 O.D. is recommended, but any tubing which will
not restrict the air flow can be used. Connect to the two 1/8 female NPT
pressure ports as noted below:
A. Differential pressures - connect pipes or tubes from source
of greater pressure to high pressure port marked HIGH
PRESS, and from source of lower pressure to low pressure
port marked LOW PRESS.
B. Pressure only (above atmospheric pressure) - connect
tube from source of pressure to high pressure port. The low
pressure port is left open to atmosphere.
C. Vacuum only (below atmospheric pressure) - connect tube
from source of vacuum to low pressure port. The high
pressure port is left open to atmosphere.
4. To make electrical connections, remove the three hex head screws
from the cover and after loosening the fourth captive screw, swing the
cover aside. Electrical connections to the standard single pole, double
throw snap switch are provided by means of terminals marked COM
(common), NO (norm open), NC (norm closed). The normally open
contacts close and the normally closed contacts open when pressure
increases beyond the set point. Switch loads for standard models should
not exceed the maximum specified current rating of 15 amps resistive.
Switch capabilities decrease with an increase in ambient temperature,
load inductance, or cycling rate. Whenever an application involves one
or more of these factors, the user may find it desirable to limit the
switched current to 10 amps or less in the interest of prolonging switch
life.
